Hello everyone, it's been a while. A lot has happened in the past few months. I don't really upload as much here anymore. I have been taking my art in a new direction. I felt like I was stagnant a while ago, and I wanted to change that. Back in August of last year I attended an art show to see an old college friend of mine showcase his art work. I met many other artists there and saw some really cool work. I felt inspired. I wanted to change the way I was doing things. I wanted to do an art event as well. There was so much in the way of positive vibes there. I would show other artists my artwork on my phone and they would tell me that I should have been doing shows. After the event, I began to push even harder and prepare for the next show I could submit my work to. The opportunity came up, I applied, and I got accepted. I began to work on new pieces for the show. My rendering improved during the process. So I produced 3 pieces to show for the art show. Last month was art show I participated in for the first time. I didn't sell as many prints as I would have liked. But I got so much in the way of positive feedback on my style. It just didn't cater to the demographic at the show. I wasn't even mad about it. I felt good that I got out there and did it. I actually got commission requests for my services. So I felt like that was a win for me. Hell, I've been doing quite a bit of freelance work lately. Some friends of mine that do podcasts have been putting my name out there.

Which brings me to what some have been wondering. Will I continue Phantom Ops? I may not. My head is in such a different place right now. I loved it at first, but I don't know, I've lost interest in it over the course of the last few months. I could still do it, even with my day job and workout schedule, but my focus has been elsewhere. I do apologize to the fans of the comic most importantly. I felt like it never really caught a buzz anyway which is probably the main cause of my lack of interest in it. I have the next page flatted and ready to detail and put dialogue in. I haven't touched it since December. I wanted to finish the story arc but it's a two part and it's a long one. I honestly don't care enough to do it. I will still do art of the characters, but as far as the comic, I may never work on it again. I'm almost always open for commissions so feel free to get with me on that. If you don't want to follow my work anymore, I understand. Life goes on right? Oh yeah, just to be clear, I'm not sad or depressed. I'm actually quite happy. I just felt like you needed to know what was going on.
